RU will likely lose Tangrowth but will likely get Shaymin. I'm a bit mixed, on the one hand as an offensive Grass type goes Shaymin is better and while not as bulky I can see it doing well with a defensive spread. It might fill Tangrowth's role while doing better in some offensive sets thanks to it's base 100 speed. But I can't deny that losing Tangrowth will be painful.

I'm sorry dude... But there are a few things in here that aren't just right...

PU will not get Togetic if it drops from RU... NU will get it and then if it drops again then PU can have it again...

About Cacturne, while Powerful and with a STAB Sucker Punch, is not quickban worthwhile... Isn't bulky, nor fast and then, it has to rely on SPunch to deal damage against a lot of the meta, which of course can be just played around with things like sub - WoW - offensive shit with enough bulk... I dunno... It might be overwhelming in practice but in theory doesn't sound as bad...
Finally about Zangoose... I feel that might one might be quickbanned as soon as stats go up, so... I doubt you could abuse it xD

| 58 | Zangoose | 3.435% |
If this drops, I'm going to abuse the crap out of it for as long as I can (predicting one week maximum). Insane Poke.[/quote
Pelipper and Zangoose were banned from PU a while ago

I can see Goodra and Alomomola being a good defensive core. Goodra has high Special Defense and resistant to both of Alomomola's weaknesses, while Alomomola can use its high HP and decent Defense to take physical hits for Goodra and patch up Goodra's lack of recovery with Wish.

It's still weak to the most common mega in the tier and of the most threatening mons in general. If it was weak to some obsecure mon then whatever but it doesn't work too well when it's weak to something so common.

I was under the impression that the "return to the original tier it resided in" was only that one time for the ORAS megas that got yanked around for the lower tiers. Are we seriously going to send Quag all the way back down to NU if it falls out of OU?

Neither Zangoose or Pelipper are banned from PU so if they have the usage to drop then they will be PU not BL4 (Zangoose has not even entered the tier ever so i don't know where you would get the idea it is in BL4 to being with)

Also, if Togetic was to drop from RU it would immediately drop back to PU as that was the tier Togetic was in before moving up
